article on Bahrain Education in one of the Iraqi papers.
Admitting that education in Bahrain is ctill almost in ita
infancy, it is thought hero that there will ho no acopo
for active hostile criticism sponsored by an Iraqi official
in the Iraqi preao. Indeed I underotand that there ore
several Englishmen in the Iraq Education Department and it
might be possible to arrange that one of them ohould visit
Bahrain.

a visiting official from India would be of much help, and
recent experience of the delays attending advice from India
has not been particularly encouraging. The disadvantage
of obtaining someone from the Sudan lies mainly in the
long journeys involved and consequent probable delays,
plus hoavy expenditure.
